The Freedom of Information Record System (FIRST) supports the processing of FOIA/PA requests from the public. It is used to scan and capture electronic copies of FOIA/PA request and response documents; create and manage cases based on requests; transfer requests to other USCIS units or other government agencies; locate, review, redact, and process requested documents or records for disclosure; create standard correspondence letters to the requestors; process payments; print final action letters and redacted responsive records. FIRST users are located within the National Records Center, where requests under the FOIA/PA are processed.
